CITY LEAGUE INFO

The City League is again split into the Majors and Minors. Both groups will have 2 teams and have Skills and Drills in the morning. There is an addition to the Majors, in that, they will have 1 game/week in the evening. We are in the process of constructing a diamond for the majors to play on between the coliseum and the existing Cal Ripken diamond. There is again the likelyhood that the Major teams can/will travel in the local area to play local teams. The Skills and Drills in the mornings are coached by High School Players under the mentorship of an adult coach. Parents are excepted to volunteer and assist the Majors as adult coaches(dads) in the evening weekday games once the 2 Major teams begin play. This will be primarily coach pitch.

Evening Major League games are tentatively scheduled to begin the 2nd week of June, and run till mid July.

The International Board of Directors of Babe Ruth League, Inc. has approved a moratorium on the use of composite bats in the Babe Ruth Baseball 13-15 and 16-18 Divisions, effective immediately. The moratorium shall be in effect until further notice by Babe Ruth Headquarters.

The moratorium will follow the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), based on a recommendation from its Baseball Rules Committee. The NFHS Board enacted a rule to prohibit the use of composite bats until they can produce compliance with the standards through the life of the bat. If a composite bat is legal/approved under the NHFS rule for the 2011 season, it is legal for use in the Babe Ruth Baseball 13-15 and 16-18 Divisions for local league play and tournament competition.

Composite bats that are certified by an approved independent testing laboratory as meeting the current Ball Exit Speed Ration (BESR) and the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) procedure will be eligible.
